Please don't throw stones at me but I am a newbie when it comes to audio. Can you explain to me what the 5.1 CH Direct does? I have tried to find it in the manual with no success. I am using my Outlaw with a Sony DirecTV/Tivo which I just bought particularly so that I can listen to those offerings broadcast in 5.1. I know that in order to hear it in DD 5.1 I have to put it in the surround sound mode - would the 5.1 CH Direct do the same thing?

So much to learn, and so little time to do it!! Many thanks.
